What do you do when your puppy attacks your kids' ankles in the morning? How do you recognize when your puppy needs to go potty? Should you always say “off” when your puppy gets on the furniture? And what does it mean when your puppy growls while chewing something valuable?In this episode, Amy answers real questions from a new puppy family and breaks down exactly how to handle these common puppy behaviors. You'll learn how to prevent and redirect ankle biting, recognize your puppy's individual potty signals, teach an alternative to getting on furniture, and respond appropriately to growling and potential resource guarding—without punishing communication.Most importantly, we'll talk about the bigger picture: don't just teach your puppy what NOT to do. Teach your puppy what TO do instead.Support the showFollow us on social mediaInstagram @BAXTERandBella Facebook @TheOnlinePuppySchool YouTube @BAXTERandBellaSubscribe to our site for FREE weekly training tips!

Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: a baffling passing adjective in the EFL Trophy, how a striker would "unlock" their goalscoring account for the season, Everton's irresistible "cup run" candidacy, LASK 5 Celtic 4 and the saddest football TV studio of all time, Michael Owen mixes up his modes of transport, a curious anomaly in how we describe substitutes entering the fray, how early a new signing can be called "a revelation" and Richard Keys's optimistic claim to having originally coined a phrase.

Weeks after a woman's mysterious disappearance, a ship's captain noticed something off about two of his passengers — a quiet, bespectacled man and his teenage "son." He couldn't shake the feeling he'd seen that face somewhere recently. So he did something no ship's captain had ever been able to do before: He alerted police, instantly, from the middle of the ocean that two murder suspects might be aboard his vessel. What followed was one of the strangest manhunts in criminal history, and a case that would later split a forensic field down the middle more than 100 years later.Crimes of the Centuries is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

The Trick to Keeping Long-Term Tenants Tenant turnover can quietly become one of the biggest expenses in a rental property. Vacancy, repairs, repainting, cleaning, advertising, showings, and lost rent can quickly add up when tenants move every year. The good news is that tenant turnover is also one of the expenses landlords have the most control over. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby break down what actually keeps tenants in a rental property long term and why tenant retention can have such a major impact on profitability. The core idea is simple: If you buy the right property, attract the right tenant, price it fairly, and treat them well, there is a much greater chance they stay. And when they stay, your returns improve.

Jaci Russo has had quite a summer. First, her husband and business partner, Michael, underwent an unexpected quadruple bypass. Fortunately, Michael's recovering well, and their branding agency passed an important test: With both founders largely out of commission, the team kept the business running and the clients happy. But that wasn't the only surprise Jaci had to deal with. For the past several years, she and Michael thought they knew exactly how they would eventually leave the business. They had a succession plan. They had a timetable. And they had already begun putting the pieces in place. Now, they're back to figuring it out.This week, Jaci tells Jay Goltz what happened and how she's thinking about her options now. It's a reminder that succession planning isn't just about choosing among selling to family, employees, investors, or some other buyer. It's also about recognizing that circumstances change, people change, and even a plan that once seemed settled can suddenly become anything but.Plus: We check in with Jay to see whether he's received the hundreds of thousands of dollars he's expecting in tariff refunds. And with Wayfair reporting improved sales, I ask Jay whether that's a sign the furniture business is finally recovering—or whether Wayfair's gains might actually be bad news for independent home stores like his. This episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

Everyone thinks IKEA's success comes down to affordable furniture, flat-pack boxes, and Swedish meatballs.They're wrong.Behind every IKEA decision—from the flat-pack design and product names to the store layout and restaurant—is one powerful brand philosophy that has remained remarkably consistent for over 70 years.In this episode of The Unified Brand Podcast, we unpack one of the greatest examples of unified branding ever created and reveal why IKEA isn't just selling furniture—it's expressing a belief through every customer touchpoint.You'll discover:Why flat-pack furniture is a brand strategy—not just a logistics solution.The hidden purpose behind IKEA's famous Swedish product names.How the store layout, restaurant, pricing model, and catalogue all reinforce the same core promise.Why the strongest brand signals often come from operational decisions, not marketing campaigns.How any business can turn everyday processes into powerful brand differentiators.If you want to build a brand that's memorable, consistent, and impossible to copy, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.

This podcast episode elucidates a significant shift in the furniture retail landscape, revealing that, for the first time in an extended period, companies are indeed selling more furniture, rather than merely relying on acquisitions or margin discipline to present positive growth figures. Notably, we examine three pivotal reports from disparate sectors of the industry, each converging on the same optimistic conclusion: substantial sales increases are occurring. Wayfair, for instance, has reported a commendable revenue growth of 8.7% in a contracting market, thereby capturing market share from competitors. Additionally, Havertys has demonstrated its resilience through an impressive net income surge, underpinned by an expanding gross margin and increased average ticket sales. However, amidst this buoyancy, we must exercise caution, as the cost pressures and flat production levels signal potential challenges that may impact future growth.Takeaways:The furniture industry is witnessing a paradigm shift as companies increasingly rely on acquisitions and margin discipline rather than merely expanding sales volume.Wayfair has recently reported its most robust quarterly revenue growth since 2020, demonstrating a successful strategy of increasing customer traffic and conversion rates.Havertys' impressive financial performance showcases the effectiveness of upselling in a competitive market, as evidenced by their substantial growth in average ticket prices.Manufacturing in the furniture sector has returned to growth after a brief contraction, indicating a potential resurgence in the industry, despite challenges in production and employment levels.The evolving landscape of retail highlights the necessity for physical stores to innovate, with Wayfair's expansion into brick-and-mortar locations representing a strategic response to market dynamics.Despite positive growth indicators, the furniture manufacturing sector continues to grapple with rising costs and supply chain challenges, suggesting a complex economic environment ahead.

The salient focus of today's discourse revolves around the insights gleaned from a survey of approximately three dozen prominent executives within the furniture industry, addressing the imperative actions they deem necessary for the remainder of 2026. Notably, these leaders have eschewed the inclination to attribute their challenges to external economic factors, such as fluctuating interest rates or a decline in consumer interest, instead converging on three critical themes: the application of artificial intelligence to enhance operational efficiency, the empowerment of sales personnel, and the optimization of inventory management. This episode further delves into the troubling statistics revealing that the furniture sector remains the sole retail category in decline, juxtaposed against a backdrop of overall retail growth. Our discussion will also encompass the evolving consumer behavior, particularly among younger demographics, who exhibit a propensity to furnish their homes with secondhand items, thus postponing their engagement with the new furniture market. We aim to elucidate the significance of these findings and their implications for strategic decision-making within the industry. In a climate characterized by economic uncertainty and shifting consumer behaviors, the furniture industry stands at a critical juncture that necessitates introspection and strategic maneuvering. The episode presents a synthesis of insights derived from a survey of thirty-six leading executives within the industry, tasked with articulating their operational priorities for the latter half of 2026. The responses illuminate a stark deviation from the anticipated fixation on macroeconomic variables, as these leaders collectively redirect the focus towards three salient themes: the implementation of artificial intelligence in operational workflows, the enhancement of sales associate capabilities, and the optimization of inventory management for retail partners. The discussion surrounding artificial intelligence is particularly noteworthy, as it reveals a transformative vision for its application beyond customer-facing roles. Executives articulated a strategy to leverage AI technologies to streamline critical backend functions, including order processing, logistics, and customer service optimization. This perspective underscores a commitment to operational excellence, wherein AI is viewed not merely as a cost-cutting mechanism but as a vital enabler of enhanced efficiency and responsiveness. Moreover, the executives conveyed a clear message that the intention behind these initiatives is not to supplant the workforce but rather to augment human potential, thereby fostering an environment where employees are empowered to excel. Alongside technological integration, the episode emphasizes the imperative of investing in human capital through robust training initiatives for sales associates. A recurrent theme in the executives' responses is the acknowledged gap in sales effectiveness, which they attribute to insufficient training and support for retail staff. By advocating for comprehensive training programs that equip employees with the skills to effectively communicate the value of higher-end products, the industry leaders signal a strategic pivot towards customer engagement as a mechanism for driving sales growth. As the episode concludes, it juxtaposes these proactive strategies against a backdrop of disappointing sales figures, noting that the furniture sector is uniquely positioned in a declining trajectory within the broader retail landscape. This narrative arc reinforces the urgent necessity for the discussed strategies, positing them as critical pathways towards revitalizing the industry amidst prevailing challenges.Takeaways:The current landscape of the furniture industry reveals a significant shift in executive priorities, emphasizing operational efficiency and sales training over external economic factors.Notably, the executives surveyed did not express concerns regarding interest rates or housing markets, indicating a proactive approach to challenges faced within the industry.Three principal themes emerged from discussions with industry leaders: leveraging artificial intelligence for operational improvements, enhancing sales floor training, and optimizing inventory management practices.A concerning trend is reflected in new government data, which indicates that furniture sales have declined, marking the sector as the only retail category in a negative growth position.There exists a discernible gap on sales floors, as industry vendors are increasingly willing to invest in training programs to empower associates and enhance consumer engagement with higher-end products.The competitive landscape underscores the necessity for independent retailers to enhance their visibility in the digital marketplace to combat the dominance of national chains in consumer search results.

Twenty-two-year-old Fred Korematsu was parked on a San Francisco hillside with his girlfriend, listening to music on the car radio, when the broadcast stopped on Dec. 7, 1941. In the weeks that followed, the U.S. government imprisoned 120,000 people based solely on their ancestry. Fred, a California-born welder who had tried to register for the draft on the very first day he could, decided he wasn't going anywhere. His decision would lead to one of the most consequential civil liberties cases in American history, and a decades-long effort to prove something that should never have needed proving.Crimes of the Centuries is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

In the heart of historic Mobile, Alabama, a city of Southern charm, there is the Fort Conde Inn. It is Mobile's second-oldest home. Built on ground once guarded by a mighty French fort. A place that welcomed families... until war and deadly epidemics turned its rooms into a house of misery.This is where the supernatural begins after dark. Scratch-scratch near the floorboards... like tiny claws searching for something lost. Furniture slides across rooms when no one is watching. A heavy, watchful presence follows you on the second floor, breathing just behind your shoulder. Buckets roll down steps by themselves. Lights flicker. Whispers answer when you speak. Voices from empty courtyards. Cold touches in warm rooms.Are these the restless soldiers who never made it home? The grieving mother who lost everything? Or a playful child, still looking for friends? Guests check in for quiet nights and leave with stories they can barely believe. Some say the spirits aren't angry... they're simply not finished yet.Join us as we check into a room Within the Mists of Alabama at the Fort Conde Inn?

Welcome back to How to Decorate from Ballard Designs! While the team takes a short summer break, we are sharing some of our best and most beloved conversations from the archives. Today, we are re-airing our all-time most listened-to episode, and it is all about furniture shopping. Buying furniture is a big decision that can easily feel overwhelming, with countless options, price points, and potential mistakes. Caroline, Taryn, and Liz sit down to discuss how to approach furniture as a long-term investment and share practical tips on construction and fabrics so you never regret a purchase again! Quick Decorating Takeaways: Know Your Space and Lifestyle: Before looking at styles, assess how you actually live. Are you eating snacks on the couch, hosting dinner parties, or accommodating pets? Knowing these details dictates what kind of fabric and cushion style you will need. Test Drive Your Fabric: Fabric is often the most crucial element in determining a sofa's longevity. Order a full yard of your fabric swatch, wrap it around your favorite chair or dog bed, spill coffee on it, and see how well it cleans up before you commit. Understand Construction Basics: Look for kiln-dried wood frames to prevent the frame from cracking. While eight-way hand-tied springs used to be the gold standard, modern suspension technology offers fantastic durability and comfort as well. Avoid the "Showroom" Look: Do not buy a perfectly matched furniture set if you want a collected feel. Give your space personality by mixing leg styles (e.g., skirts versus exposed legs), arm shapes, and wood tones. Create a Room Plan First: Do not shop in a vacuum! Map out your room on graph paper or use painter's tape on the floor to understand how pieces will actually fit, flow, and scale with your ceiling height. Keep Swatches Handy: Stash your essential fabric and paint swatches, along with room measurements, in your car's glove box. You never know when you will spot the perfect piece while out shopping. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:34 Intro to our summer "best of" series and why this is our most popular episode. 01:44 Trials and triumphs: new babies, basement offices, hardware decisions, and carbon monoxide scares. 25:41 Why buying a sofa starts with knowing yourself and testing out seats in a store. 35:18 The nitty-gritty of sofa construction, from kiln-dried wood to spring types. 46:39 The importance of choosing the right fabric and how to effectively "test drive" it. 52:40 Observing where your guests naturally gravitate to optimize your room's seating layout. 56:57 Dealing with long furniture lead times and why you shouldn't settle. 01:01:54 Dining room strategies: picking wipeable fabrics and indestructible quartz or porcelain tables. 01:07:21 How to effectively partner with a store's sales associate to find your perfect match. 01:11:32 Designing a collected room without getting stuck in a "matchy-matchy" trap. 01:16:04 Tips for budgeting your furniture layout piece-by-piece and pacing your purchases. 01:22:10 How to scale pieces correctly using tape, cardboard, and line drawings. 01:28:56 The furniture purchases the hosts regret most—and their all-time favorite statement pieces.

In this episode Ashley and Collin dive into the design details behind Smile Design Studio in Roseville. From the Pinterest board that started it all to the $200,000 lighting package that got vetoed, the $45,000 fireplace that never happened, and the cosmetic wing that patients cannot stop raving about.What You'll Hear In This Episode:The Design Vision If Tom Ford met dentistry, what would that look like? Ashley shares the Pinterest board of boutique hotels, restaurants, and resorts that inspired the entire aesthetic of Smile Design Studio. Neutrals, blacks, clean lines, and a vibe that is anything but a dental office. She also shares the one scent detail that had patients asking questions the moment they walked through the door.The $200,000 Lighting Reality Check Ashley wanted uplighting, downlighting, chandeliers, and statement fixtures throughout the entire space. The lighting package quote came back at $200,000. She scaled back. Tastefully. And the office still looks stunning.The Fireplace That Never Was A see-through fireplace separating the lounge from the consultation room was on the original design. The quote came in at $45,000. It did not make the cut. Neither did the full kitchen in the break room. Sometimes champagne taste has to meet the hotdog budget.The Design Box After flying to Denver to meet with the architect for the 3D walkthrough, Ashley received a large box of every material sample for the office. Flooring, tile, millwork, wallpaper, and hardware. She and Collin spent hours going through it and there is an unboxing video to prove it.Hardware, Furniture, and Finishing Touches Matte black hardware throughout. Chandeliers from Crate and Barrel, West Elm, and CB2. Sofas and lounge chairs from Rove Concepts. A white sofa in the patient lounge that the team Scotchguards on the regular and would do again in a heartbeat.The Coffee Bar A single serve machine that grinds beans fresh for every cup, sparkling waters, flavored syrups, and creamers. Ashley also shares the California ADA accessible counter height detail that catches a lot of practice owners off guard.The Cosmetic Wing The crown jewel of Smile Design Studio. A dedicated cosmetic photo studio with a black wall and light boxes, a private patient restroom with river rock flooring, a concierge desk, and Ashley's personal office with a couch and TV for patients during long procedures. It feels like a completely separate business within the practice and it is the single thing patients compliment most.The Advice Worth Writing Down Know your long game. Design for who you are and where you are going. And if this is your first location do not go balls to the wall. Save that for when you have already proven the concept.Resources Mentioned: Scent diffuser and espresso machine links coming in the show notes and newsletter soonThank You to Our PartnersNet32: The dental marketplace that helps practice owners stop overpaying for supplies.
